Hy-Vee expands voluntary recall to trail mix and salad dressing
WEST DES MOINES, IA (KMSP) - Hy-Vee is expanding its voluntary recall of products with possible Listeria contamination to trail mix and now salad topping products.
The products include Hy-Vee Garden Style Salad Topping, Hy-Vee Trail Mix Bars, Hy-Vee Peanut Almond Dark Chocolate Protein Bars, Hy-Vee Caramel Cashew Honey Crunch Trail Mix, Hy-Vee Dark Chocolate Cranberry Trail Mix, Hy-Vee Raisin and Nut Trail Mix, and Hy-Vee Santa Fe Trail Mix.
The recall stems from the grocery chain's sunflower seed supplier, SunOpta, which recalled specific lots of sunflower seeds due to possible contamination. Listeria can cause serious infections or even death in young children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.
Here is the list of the items added to the recall:
